WAT'E R-BOTTLE Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 12,1905. Serial No. 278,201.

Patented Aug. 21, 1906;.

To allwhom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CAROLINE KRUEGER, a c tizen of the United States,residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State otNew York,haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Bottles, of whichthe following is a specification.

heat-retaining material and curving the same to conform-somewhat to thebody of a person, so that when applied the slightest pressure willassure contact at every point.

To this end the invention consists of the novel construction andarrangement of arts to be hereinafter described, and particu arlypointed-out in the subj oined claims.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bottle, showing the fastening-bandarranged lengthwise thereof. Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken online 2 2, Fig. 1. I Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section of thebottle. Fig. 4 is a section taken through one of the metallicswivel-stra s. Fig. 5 is a detached perspective view 01' one of theswivel-straps.- Fig. 6

is a front elevation of the bottle, showing two g edge of the outerwall, and metallic swivelfastening-bands arranged transversely.

7 Referring to the-drawings in detail, similar letters of referencerefer to similar parts in the several figures.

A represents the bottle, which is oblong and formed of two pieces ofsheet metal B and C, forming, res )ectively, the outer wall and theinner wal. The inner wall C is dished and curved lengthwise to fit anyde sired portion of the body to which it'may be applied. By dishing theinner wall curved edges are provided, thus dispensing with undesirableseams and sharp edges, which would be uncomfortable as well asunsightly. The edges of the two pieces B and C are soldered to ether atD, the outer wall being grooved to receive the edge of the inner dishedwall and curved longitudinally to correspond to the latter.

. fillingeopening E is provided in the outer wall, to which is ap lie acap F. Soldered or-otherwise applied to-the outer wall near each end-isa bracket G,-having a raised center portion 9, to which latter is aplied metallic swivel-straps H, rovided wit studs 7b, that pass throughsaid raised portions and have their inner projecting ends u set. The

straps H are free to revolve on t e studs h and may therefore be turnedinto any desired position. A fastening-band I may be passed through thestraps H in the manner shown in- ,Fig. 1 for holding the bottle to thebody in the desired position. In some instances the bottle" may be moreeffectively and comfortably held by turning the straps to apply twobands widthwise, as shown in- Fig. 6, while at other times the .bandsmay be arranged obliquely. To allow of such changes being made, theswivel-straps are arranged in a longitudinal medial line to permit oftheir use in any position or angle the band or bands may be placed in.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is i I 1. A metallicwater-bottle formed of a dished and longitudinally-curved inner wall anda longitudinally-curvcd outer wall,. the edge ofthe inner wall beingsoldered to the straps afiixed to the outer wall for the recep; tion offastening-bands.

2. A metallic watenbottle formed of a dished and longitudinally-curvedinner wall and a longitudinally-curved outer wall, the edge-oi the innerwall being soldered to the edge of the outer wall, metallic bracketssecured to the outer wall of the bottle, and metallic straps swiveled onsaid brackets.

A metallic water-bottle formed of a dished and longitudinally-curvedinner wall and a longitudinally-curved outer wall, the edge of the innerwall being soldered to the edge of the 'outer wall, metallic bracketshaving raised neuter pox-tians and being seopposite ends of the bottle,and metallic m cured to the cute; Wall near opposite ends, strapss'wiveled 011 said brackets. andfimetallic' Straps having each a stud Intestimony whereof I have afiLxed. my pased'loosely tbrough the raisedceriter por i signature in, the "press-110e 0f two subscribing 5 tion ofsaid brackets. witnesses.
